"The View" co-host Meghan McCain commended Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, on Thursday as the congresswoman faced criticism over her decision to vote "present" on impeaching President Trump.
"I was watching the impeachment process when I got home last night and I too would not have voted for it," McCain said. "And I actually think Tulsi Gabbard has absolute balls of steel to vote present because that's what I would have done if I were her as well."
Gabbard skipped the procedural votes in the morning and just as the first vote on impeachment for abuse of power was winding down, Gabbard stunned with her lone present vote. She followed with a second present vote on obstruction of Congress.
Gabbard, a 2020 presidential candidate, has been one of the few Democrats to publicly criticize her caucus' decision to pursue an impeachment inquiry. Prior to Wednesday's vote, Gabbard suggested the House should vote to censure President Trump instead of approving articles of impeachment.
In a statement explaining her vote, Gabbard said she couldn't vote "in good conscience" either for or against impeachment.
She also seemed to take a shot at the way her party handled the impeachment inquiry.
I also could not in good conscience vote for impeachment because removal of a sitting president must not be the culmination of a partisan process, fueled by tribal animosities that have so gravely divided our country.

in one breath she says the president must be impeached (By claiming that ‘in good conscience she couldn’t vote against it- indicating she agrees he should be impeached Here is her statement “I could not in good conscience vote against impeachment because I believe President Trump is guilty of wrongdoing.”),
in the next she says he mustn’t be impeached-
that isn’t brave- that is skitzo
She goes on to say:
[[I am confident that the American people will decide to deliver a resounding rebuke of President Trumps innumerable improprieties and abuses. And they will express that judgment at the ballot box. ]]
Bahahaha- She’s also out of touch with reality apparently
I think the word went out from Pelosi and the DNC - anyone who votes NO gets primaried. Theyll deny it , of course.
So Tulsi caved. So did thirty other dim reps.
“She might have ovaries of steel”
Sounds painful.
I call the present vote as voting gutless.
Here we go. Lifting up Tulsi Gabbard. As if she’s not a lefty.
Her only distinction is that she knows how to pretend to be impartial, middle of the road. It’s an act, but stupid people in the electorate fall for that act every time.
Compared to the other kooks running for the Dem nomination, she looks golden. But she’s a kook just like them.
Tulsi is a coward and a snake.
She’s hot
Shouldn’t that be “ovaries” instead?
I’m certain that there are some here who will step up to inspect and confirm. Any takers?
“The View”
Enough said.
Oh BS, if Tulsi ever had balls she is certainly a eunuch now. There is no way Tulsi votes “present” if Nanzi doesn’t first give permission.
Tulsi is an attention whore.
Article proves the point a blind pig can find an acorn........
Brave Sir Tulsi ran away.
(”No!”)
Bravely ran away away.
(”I didn’t!”)
When danger reared it’s ugly head,
She bravely turned her tail and fled.
(”I never!”)
Yes, brave Sir Tulsi turned about
And gallantly she chickened out.
(”You’re lying!”)
Swiftly taking to her feet,
She beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Tulsi!
Is Tulsi a tranny?
What’s with the female political profanity. It’s not impressive.
Here are real balls of steel, in her mouth.
